Coastal wind: what the permit change means
Draft · 137 words · edited a minute ago
The revised rule cuts the review window from eighteen months to nine. It does not shorten the studies that feed the review. Any developer who has not begun bird and bat surveys before the filing date will spend those nine months waiting on fieldwork that used to run in parallel, and will finish no earlier than under the old rule.
Two consequences follow. Sites with survey data already in hand file first and take the grid capacity available in the north; everyone else negotiates for what is left, at prices set by the people who moved early. The advantage is not permanent, but it holds through the 2027 connection round.
The recommendation is unchanged. File early, and treat the survey calendar rather than the permit calendar as the binding constraint.

Turns a month on one hundred credits. The ruler steps by tens — 1, 10, 100, 1,000 — because six turns and 2,500 do not sit on the same straight line at any width a screen has.
